RemindPaid

For freelancers who hate chasing payments

Get paid without writing the awkward email.

Add any invoice. We send friendly, escalating follow-ups under your name so they read like you wrote them, not a noreply system email. Replies come straight to your inbox. It keeps going past day 14, when most built-in reminders give up. It goes from "just a heads-up" to "final notice" without you typing a word.

You did the work. Now you're also the collections department.

85% of freelancers get paid late at least some of the time. Most of us handle it the same way: we stare at a draft that says "Hi! Just circling back on this 😊" and wonder if three exclamation points sounds desperate or friendly.

Then we wait. Then we do it again.

  • It's awkward. You like this client. You'd like to keep liking them. Asking for money feels like it puts that at risk.
  • It's slow. Freelancers typically wait more than two weeks before chasing at all, and the chasing has to be repeated: in one Freelancers Union survey, most people had to ask three or more times.
  • The built-in reminders quit early. FreshBooks and QuickBooks cap automatic reminders at three. Wave's schedule ends at 14 days overdue, and Bonsai's stops at 16. That's just when a slow invoice turns into a really late one.
  • The serious tools aren't built for you. Standalone "accounts receivable" tools start around $49 and go past $259 a month, and most want you to switch to their accounting setup first.

So the invoice sits there, and you end up as the one who has to bring it up.

How to remind clients to pay, on autopilot

  1. 1

    Add an invoice, from any tool.

    Create it here, or just enter the invoice number, amount and due date. FreshBooks, Wave, a Google Doc, a Stripe link: it works with all of them. You don't have to switch invoicing apps.

  2. 2

    Pick your schedule and tone.

    The default is ready to go: 3 days before due → due date → +7 → +14, and you can add more follow-ups. Change the timing, edit the wording, and turn the late-fee step on or off.

  3. 3

    Get on with your actual work.

    Your dashboard shows what's unpaid, overdue, and paid. Mark an invoice paid and its reminders stop. That's it.

Why it works

It sounds like you, not a robot.

Reminders go out under your name, and replies come straight to your inbox. Your client sees a short note that reads like you wrote it, not a "noreply" system email they've learned to ignore.

It doesn't give up at day 14.

Reminders start 3 days before the due date, then go out on the due date, at +7 and at +14, and keep following up after that until the invoice is marked paid.

The tone escalates so you don't have to.

Each reminder gets a little firmer: friendly heads-up, then a clear nudge, then a direct "please confirm a payment date," then a final notice. If your contract has a late fee, there's an optional step that adds it. You never have to work out how firm to sound.

Simple pricing. Cheaper than one late invoice.

Questions

How do I remind a client to pay?+

Send a friendly heads-up a few days before the due date, a clear nudge on the due date, then firmer follow-ups at +7 and +14 days. RemindPaid sends that whole sequence for you, under your name, and stops as soon as you mark the invoice paid.

Do I have to switch invoicing tools?+

No. Keep using FreshBooks, Wave, QuickBooks, Bonsai, Stripe, or a PDF you made in Google Docs. RemindPaid only handles the follow-up. Just enter the invoice details.

Will my clients know it's automated?+

The reminders go out under your name, in wording you've approved, and replies come straight to your inbox. They look like what you'd send yourself on a good day, not a noreply system email.

Won't this annoy my clients?+

The schedule is polite on purpose: one heads-up before the due date, then reminders spaced a week apart, getting firmer only gradually. You can edit every message and change the timing. Most clients don't mind reminders, they mind surprises.

Do I have to charge late fees?+

No. The late-fee step is off by default. If your contract includes a fee, you can turn it on and it gets added to the right reminder.

What does it cost?+

Free for up to 3 active invoices, no credit card. Pro, for unlimited invoices at $12/mo (or $99/yr), is coming soon.
